I have been limited to fishing after 12 Pm here in New Hampshire as of late and have only been bass fishing for three years so I decided to learn a little more and came upon this video first. I had a brand new Chatterbait in my tackle box and decided to give it a go. I am fishing small ponds in the SW area where the Lilly Pads are already starting to thicken but top water frogs are not quite working yet (especially at high noon). Using a Colorado XT single person pontoon rowboat I set out yesterday and tried the Chatterbait and I was pleasantly surprised. Caught several juvies, 8-10 inches, a few 2-3 pounders and one 5-6 pounder. Some smashed the lure as it hit the water and some hit it as I pulled it along weed beds. Thanks for taking the time to record and share your findings. You video is quick and easy to follow with no frills just fishing tips.

my all time fav lure for pond bass fishing is the Zera Spook Puppy. Funnest lure I've ever used and has the coolest action I've ever seen. The full sized Zera Spooks are really good too but I usually reserve those for larger lakes

I primarily bass fish ponds. That is my bread and butter. One bait I feel like you forgot to mention is a Ned rig craw on a standup jig. This is the #1 bait to use in summer time in ponds. Bass will go out deep, in plant cover to ambush, or around docks. Use a spinning reel for finesse and fish it super slow with little twitches and pops, work it on the bottom.

Totally agree. I caught my PB on a tiny 1/4 oz. Rapala Skitter Pop, and a Senko-type bait never fails. A frog in the pads is the ultimate for me, too.

Good character and well informed quality info. Definitely deserves a like and follow!

I live in Cleveland. Around this time every year, spring bass fishing videos start popping into my feed and I get pumped up for bass fishing. Every year I get disappointed to realize I can’t go spring fishing until May at the earliest 😂

GREAT JOB ON THE VIDEO. THANK YOU FOR THE HELPFUL TIPS!!!

You nailed it. 3 of my favorites on ponds.

I totally agree... but my favorite for all around lure is a roster tail you can catch just about anything year round on a roster tail. I think they get overlooked by most anglers

Wacky rig works 90% of the time in north west Florida. Black and blue!!!

Great video TY! Will try a chatterbait more on my pond. Thanks.

I love a spinner bite for several reasons one it's an overall great lure to use and 2 it flashes so it can cover a lot of like a attraction over the whole pond

I have always been that guy on the bank on his bucket bait fishing lol but my 19 yr old son introduced me to the whole lure thing and I have to say definitely been doing more catchin then fishin lol Awesome tips !!

Awesome detailed information thank you

Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna practice this

Match the bait fish I fish ponds and I have found that a 4 inch white shad swimbait with a spinner has caught more fish than anything I have used. Yes I have caught them on just about every bait but that little bait is my go to. A black spinnebait is really good to. Black White Red and Silver are great all round colors.

Second time coming around to this video and still learning new things I must have missed before .

thank you for the helpful tips...really hope these tips work for me

Love me some pond fishing, I appreciate the advice!

Great info, thank you!

Most small lakes or ponds have that slime weed or wood around. My best bait to use is a zoom Magnum shakey head worm with a 3/0 or 4/0 worm hook. I use light spinning gear with no weights added. I usually catch fish wherever I go. I bury the hook in the worm to make it weedless. I like to use green pumpkin. The slow fall gets them all the time. I also would recommend a zoom lizard rigged the same way. Pumpkin Pepper.

Let’s go!!!! New subscriber here! Just getting back into fishing it’s been 10 years for me.. but man feels good to be back!

This is awesome info thank you !!

I subbed not only for the sweet bass hat but the pond tips are clutch. Love how you explained why they work and not just hey these work great ! Thanks man

I just started bass fishing. Thank you for making this video.

Those hats are awesome bro! Great vid.

Love this channel!!!

Glad I come across your channel good info big cuz

I just subscribed to your channel I would love one your hats. But thank you guys for all you do i’m always learning something new when I watch your videos

I love fishing for bluegills because they are such hard fish to catch but have to find the right pond with them in it

I like watching you fishing bass fishing videos they are pretty sweet here as you know all about bass

just starting watching, and i subscribed and have been liking a lot of your videos

Southern Ontario Canada here. I've been using rappela's pink wiggle wart. I'm pulling a bass or rainbow out every 3 or 4 casts. Highly recommended the wiggle wart

Depends on geography and structure. I am in S. Tx. I use a 4" to 6" straight worm Texas rigged, no weight. Fish it super slow using a spinning rod. Next is a single large silver blade spinner bait. Cast and retrieve, yo-yo, or like a jig, all those methods can work. Early morning or evening and through the night I use a large Hula Popper. Let it settle. First pop, wait longer than you think. Often, summer fishing turns them off until late into the night. Nothing beats a violent explosion in pitch black dark. Same lure is fantastic for catching bull grogs if you like frog legs.

Great video man.

My first comment ever. Love the hat man. I found the channel looking for summer pond fishing tips. I’ve had lot of success in ponds with all these lures. Fish on!

Pretty incredible how universal the senko is. I used to use the wacky but Texas rig proved to be more useful to me with same results. Berkley powerworms deserve a Seat at the table!

Great vids!!! Thanks!

Awesome video!!! Man I want that hat.

Nice catch!

Id love a great bass hat to wear at the fishing tournaments that I run on the weekends...BTW great video!

Perfect! I caught a 8lbs bass last week

I LOVE walking poppers That's What makes the River2Sea Bubble Walker one of my favorite baits of all time

Great tips. Love the hat bro. You outta send me one. 😂 Lol

Base on explanation, you really know fishing. Nice

Thank you for the knowledge, I hit the Subscribe button and I love that hat i'm new to the sport thank you again

Nice video, exactly what I was looking for. All the vids I see they tell you what to use but don’t fish with it and show you how to use it.

GREAT VIDEO THANKS

Thanks man!

New sub here!! Love what I see so far!!

Dude those hats rock really

What a Sick Pond to grow up on

Great fishing love me one of those hat's.😀

Hay brother thank you for the advice

Just subscribed bout to see what I get in a few when I get off

Don't forget finesse lizards I've had pretty good luck using the smaller ones best ones I've used is zoom

Would love a hat. just subscribed. Love the info. new to bass fishing.

100% except I prefer a 1/2oz hula popper. I keep these 3 tied on from March to late September. Try a deps basirisky hard belly frog too. Thank me later.

That’s a dope hat 🥸

Pumpkin seed char Texas rig works everywhere

Where I live a white chatterbait works very well. And if you don't get excited by a top water explosion you might want to see if you have a pulse 😏

I subscribed and turned on all notifications and I liked

Love that hat

That’s a good looking hat!

Got me with the hat. I'll rock it all day

Great video this is gonna really help my selection on lures today 👍

Subbed. Great video. 👍

My 9 yr old son and I could use a good bass hat to go along with your great advice ;)

I subscribed for the hat. Dont let me down, hahaha

Love the hat man, and these lures can depend on water color too, chatterbaits never work out of our stained pond, flukes, Texas rig, or crankbaits or even poppers work great but never had luck with baits that make noise except crankbaits and poppers

Good video. Pop-R will catch bass any time of day. Any day.

I fish old school. I agree with these but my top are, top water frog, spinnerbait, and soft plastic worm

You should make more of these

Easiest lure that works for bass is a zoom 6” lizard. Caught 7 earlier today with just that, a weight, and a hook.

I like a Senko on a Texas rig. Something like a devils horse, nip a dee dee, or Jointed Jitterbug for top water. Then something like a Jointed Rapala at various depths depending on water temp. A shallow running , floating Rapala will work top water pretty well..... If I could only fish two things it would be a Texas rigged worm and a floating Rapala.... If I panfish I use a beetlespin, rooster tail, mepps, or small shad or curly tail jig.

Goat info

Pick up a “rooster tail” lure from your local tackle shop. The secret is this; go small. Don’t pick a big one thinking you’ll get bigger fish. I’ve caught everything from 2” bait fish all the way up to 20” Largemouth on the SMALLEST rooster tail size. When it comes to color, I’ve always had the best luck using the bright white color, but I have at least 3 other colors with me at all times just in case. Best of luck out there & tight lines

Strike king 1/8 th oz. small spinnerbait for bas or a 1/16th oz. Beetle spin for panfish. Pop-R is great. Chatterbaits are great. Mimic Minnows are great. Rebel crawfish are great. Good old jig and Mister Twister.

Just seen your channel brother and subbed you straight up my dude!! We been all over some Slab Crappie in Morgantown WV aera. Also some early Small mouth have been hitting some. My brother and I ran across just by a fluke, 3 different 60 to 70 yr old coal mine lakes last yr about 5 or 6 acres each. But.... they are all about 35ft deep @ the Dam wall. These 3 lakes probably haven't been fished In 20+ yrs. 🤯😎. Last season we both caught @ least 6 or 7 Smallies 7+lbs !! I don't B.S. about my Bass fishing brother, and on my Good Word, there's several State Record Smallmouth living in these lakes!!! And a 99.9% chance a State record Crappie also resides there. They are the Greenest/Clearest little lakes I have ever seen bro. And I've seen a few in my 50yrs. I will keep ya informed. Right about the 1st to mid May. Pre spawn time, we gonna bring in some double digit Smallmouth!! WV. State record S.M. is 9lb5oz and 25in. Crappie is 4lb and 19in. I promise you brother. I seen a couple Smallies last year that were 27/28in easy. The 7 pounders we caught were 23ish. And I had 1 one that would have ate the others we caught. I fought her for 15 or 20mins and she finally snapped me off. I was only using 8lb Triline XL Mono. Paps taking 35lb braid this yr. I truly believe that fish was 11 or 12 lbs. 27+in. It literally looked like 2 damn footballs long and thick !! Thing is there are several that size within these 3 lakes. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. We are blessed to have the chance at maybe a couple state records 🙏 Keep up the Gr8 content brother!!

New to bass fishing with my grandson. Learning a ton from your videos

Best KZfaqr in the game!

Need one of those hats

Nice Fishing Pole!

Cool channel man

Thanks.

Wow this pond looks perfect. It just screams largemouth

I need a hat asap Tyler

I just subscribed and liked the video

Lately I’ve been using yum 5”inches sinkos I’ve caught a lot of bass so far I’ve caught at least 5 fish already I love yums

Always had success catching bass in the pond at my summer place un maine using top water frogs and night crawlers

My top 3 lures for ponds is a ½ oz rooster tail, an unweighted trick worm, and a Texas rigged worm. Honorable mention goes to a top water frog.

New sub ! Liked 👍✌️👏

I have not had the heart to get seriously back into fishing since my pawpaw passed away many years back (fishing buddies like him are priceless, irreplaceable and few and far between). Fortunately for me, I married a woman that was blessed to have a grandfather that took her fishing too. We have a few days off from work together for the first time in years so it's time to find a pond and wet a hook! We've been catfishing a few time with very little success, maybe 2 cats between us in half a dozen trips. It's the start of fall (early October) and I've got to be honest, I'm burning up with Bass fever. I've got her a few catfish rigs ready to go but here is what is on my lines: 1. Texas Rig Culprit Plastic Worm 2. Mini King 1/4 oz. Spinnerbait 3. Bitsy Pond Minnow Crankbait 4. Secret Weapon Modified Devil's Horse I am counting on those to catch a Bass because I am tired of getting skunked catfishing. Hopefully I can spark an interest in my wife. The main thing is if you love to fish, take someone you love fishing too. Trust me, those memories will last a lifetime whether you catch anything or not!

Naa, here's your list for ponds. 1.) For a spinnerbait you need a white or yellow snagless salley. 2.) Virtually any 6 to 8 inch plastic worm in either green pumpkin, junebug, black, or purple depending on water color. 3.) For early morning and late evening top water a 110 size Whopper Plopper. I have made so many friends break down and ask me for a Snagless Salley while fishing a pond together it isn't funny. I have no idea why more people don't know about and use them. Best spinnerbait for shallow water ponds by far. Worms for the weeds and grass. And if you haven't used a Whopper Plopper yet you don't know what you are missing. Best top water plug period. Easy to use with just a steady retrieve. Tail spinning makes a nice gurgling sound and throws a perfect little flit of water with each rotation just like a baitfish fluttering on the surface. I'm telling you if you drag it over a big bass they got to have it. Great big bass lure.

Really been falling in love with top water hits. Bass just smash on top water and it's the best thing ever when it happens.

Hey buddy I was watching your video n the sou d cut out...right when you started talking about the senior
